Do you guys think wearing glasses make you look very mean and nerdy? If yes, Should I continue to wear them or go for contact lenses?

It depends on the person. I know most guys on here are raving on how cute, sexy, hot, etc... women look in glasses, but I've worn glasses for years and do you think guys say that about me? NO. Haha.
I look like a geek or nerd, which isn't bad but I honestly cannot tell you the last time someone told me glasses made me look nice.

It depends on how YOU as a person look- glasses are an accessory. Meaning if you're an attractive or nice looking individual, of course you can pull off glasses, or nearly any look. This concept goes for practically anything, including clothing and hairstyles.

They suit you. Keep them :)
I wear glasses myself, but only for long distance viewing (don't need them to read, for example). I would never get contact lenses, because the thought of having something in my eyes all the time is horrifying. And besides, there's nothing wrong with "looking nerdy".

[Bellatris]

Thank you for selecting my response for MHG, because like I said, they're perfect for you. You definitely should wear them :)

[Asker]

Thank you, I'll continue wearing them. I was just worried about coming off as nerdy and mean.

I switched from smaller dark rimmed glasses to lighter reddish glasses with a wider frame to "open up" my face so to speak. The right set of frames should accentuate the natural contours and features of your face. So if the frames stand out in a way that they're hiding your face/eyes, then they could be perceived as "mean" in the sense they're a barrier between you and the person you're facing. A good frame is one that's like a natural extension of your face and especially your eyes. Hence why I got frames in a sort of burnt orange/red colour, as the colour contrast with my brown hair and brown eyes has more "pop" rather than brown eyes hiding behind smaller, thicker, black frames.

it's not the glasses making you look mean, it's the resting position of your mouth and the way you stare.

The glasses actually distract from that, making you seem more approachable (with them you look sad rather than angry).

I know a lot of women hate hearing this for some reason, but if you want to seem approachable, then smile when looking at a camera or person, it has a huge impact on perception.

Photo looks great.

the shape, size, colour etc with glasses influences how they look on a person.

glasses can be sexy and change the dynamics of a face.

try different types and styles.

[Bellatris]

Exactly. They look perfect on her. She definitely chose the right style.

[Leavesbound]

Mean? absolutely not. I think most guys honestly won't remember if you were wearing glasses after looking at how stunningly gorgeous your face and hair are.

Try contacts. They are not expensive, easy to wear, and for most people, particularly young people, your vision will be better.

[etexbearkat]

I prefer contacts over glasses, but I need both. I don’t go out in public wearing my glasses, unless I don’t have contacts, or else I’m at work and my contacts are giving me issues.

[FlySwimmer]

Keep the glasses pleaseee, they look so good on youuu

[BCA6010]

The glasses are fine.

If something is screwing you up with the guys, it's the nose ring.

[scuff1986]

Glasses make everyone look different, if the photo is of you I think those style suit you and give you an air of sophistication

[Libbers]

I think wearing glasses gives a personal a level of sophistication and sexiness.

[Yuuibtony]

But you short so stop

[Libbers]

@Yuuibtony pardon?

[Yuuibtony]

I mean you short and you know? Short women just there to give out cute opinions, and not all these big words that way too tall for you like "sohistication" or "sexiness"

[Mofunfour20]

You can pull the glasses off. Works with your face. You look very approachable

[mk200195]

Mean? Naah not at all. Personally, i find glasses absolutely charming!

[lanadelrey25]

straight outta the year 2009, plaid shirt and everything

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

As long as you like them.. that's all that matters

I wear glasses. I've thought about getting lasik though. My problem right now, is my astigmatism is too bad. But I'm going to go in and get a second opinion

[Avicenna]

A woman looking nerdy is an advantage to some of us guys

[Phoenix98]

I like glasses personally so I don't think they look bad.

[Ripper_E]

When you wear glasses, you just like as your normally, but with glasses on.

[Wiredone]

I don't think you look mean or nerdy. I think you look very cute in those glasses. I think you should continue to wear them

[Ironic_Method]

It looks good.

Of course you probably look good without, too.

[nawtee_me]

If the pic is you don't bother with contacts you are sexy as all get out with those glasses on. want to go out?
